Update August 4th - "Happy Hour and Obon Festival"

CuddlyFoxes (FormerMod)

Hey everyone!

A new update is ready to hit our servers, let's take a look at what's coming:

Happy Hours & Weekend Bonus

The Happy Hour system is a new login bonus system that will reward your activity even more!

• From Monday to Friday, you can activate a different daily bonus.

• Every day will grant three connected boosters of the same kind, with an increasing bonus, for the duration of three hours.

• The boosters will depend on your level, meaning you won't see boosters for content you haven't unlocked yet.
  

• Each booster is linked to a different server time, during which you can claim them simply by logging in:

• Morning (e.g. 07:00-10:00)

• Noon (12:00-15:00)

• Evening (18:00-21:00)

• If you log in during those time frames you will be able to reach the higher bonus - If you log in (or are already logged in) during all three different time frames you will reach the highest possible daily bonus.

• You will receive the daily bonus if you are already logged into the game, no need to log out & in again.
  

• You might have different bonus every week, chosen from a wide variety of bonuses.

• Gathering the three daily bonuses will grant you some progress points in the bar below, that will help you during the weekend. (we’ll get to that later)

• If you don’t manage to claim one of the three daily bonuses, you can still obtain the other two but this will not add any progress in the lower bar.

• If you collect all the bonuses during the weekdays (15) and fill the lower bar completely, an additional loyalty bonus will be unlocked for the weekend.

• During the weekend you can activate one out of three different bonuses that will last until Sunday at midnight.

• The strength of this bonus will depend on the % collected in the lower bar during the week days. Example: if you collected 15% from the activity during the weekdays, your bonus will be 15%.

• You can understand better by checking the picture below

Disclaimers: 

• The numbers in the picture are not final and might change. This new system will be available starting on Monday, August the 7th.
• Given the high amount of variables and complexity of this feature, there might be some unexpected bugs that we didn't identify yet. If this should happen to you, please accept our apologies and let us know in the forums, so that we can fix it as soon as possible - Since these boosters are daily gifts, no compensation will be considered if you do encounter problems with them. Thank you for the support and dedication towards Big Farm!
  

Mushroom Search Optimization

• The Mushroom search event will get that fresh new look that you have seen in similar events to make it entertaining across all farms!

• Get your baskets ready for when the event is back, a lot of tasty mushrooms will be waiting for you.

  Obon Festival

Similar to the Snow Man one, a freshly looking event is coming to your farms. This time around, the Old Master will ask for your help to prepare the celebration for the Obon Festival!

• The theme inspiring this event is a Japanese Buddhist tradition known as the Bon Festival (Wikipedia article to know more about it)

• Help the Old Master collecting as many lanterns as possible to improve the value and the look of the decoration.

• The decoration size will be 4x4 with a maximum happiness value of 75.
  

• The lanterns will drop from your harvests in the fields, gardens and meadows.

• In addition, Lucky Coins can drop from these harvests too and the Lucky Coins Trader will show up in your farms!
  

Server time display

• To make it easier to understand, the server time displayed on the upper part of the game interface will now show the time in a 24h format.

Bugfixes:

• The specialist hire dialogue showed the wrong costs when you didn’t visit the coop village before

• Members of the cooperative can now delete their own boosters again

• There’s now enough space for events on the coop village

• There’s now a tooltip which explains why the donate construction material tab is locked

• A wrong text was displayed if the player is not in a cooperative in the worldwide championship

• The boat tab got removed on farms where no boats are available

• The next harvest display shows now the correct amount of products if you have a handbook for this product

• The production dialogue of the coop village factories shows now the correct amount of bonus products you get if you have a handbook for this product

• Fixed a display error for the ranking rewards in the Shinkei Suijaku school

• Fixed missing icons in the adventurer boat when you collected a treasure

• Captain Yarnacle's schedule has been adjusted to the time displayed in the clock (he should always leave at 1 am and 1 pm local server time).
  

• Weekly resets (i.e. for the village league) should now happen at the correct time.
  

• The fertile meadow should now change visuals once edge plants are used.
  

• Several offers should no longer show a discounted price with the same value as the original price.
  

• Other players' horses should no longer be displayed when sending horses to the horse meadow.
  

• Fish should no longer be automatically caught when switching tabs during fishing.
  

• Village happiness should now always be correctly factored into the displayed price for specialists.
  

• Missions should now always be displayed in the cooperative category of the WWC even if the player is not in a cooperative.
  

• The filter for Prof. James's handbooks should now work correctly.
  

• Cooperative village buildings should now have a new tooltip on the donate tab that mentions that it can be unlocked by clicking the upgrade button.
  

• The extra drops from the main farm nursery should no longer always be corn.
  

• Switching pages in the farm management should now be much smoother.

• Performance should be better for harvesting.

• Friends can once again be invited via the welcome centre in the airport
  

• The correct currency should now always be displayed when hiring specialists
